Hi Tom
the issue of a woman's mind being deficient in being a witness is not correct...
here is the reasoning behind having to have 2 women instead of one man...
the verses in Quran add that "so that if one of them (of the women that is) forgets, the other shall remind her" ... and guess what, modern day medical research has shown that women are more prone to being forgetful than men... I am sorry that I don't have the article that was published by a renowned researcher... a woman nevertheless... but I am sure if one searches for it, he / she will find it...
so, as you can see, it is completely out of context to say that a woman's mind is deficient... people see what they want to see to make their point... some can look at things with open minds and without bias... and others keep going in circles unable to accept facts even if it hit them in the head...
by the way, and the women here would love this, medical research has also shown that women have a larger corpus callosum than men... and if you don't know what that is, it's the grey matter in the brain that connects the right and left lobes of the brain... grey matter is all nerve cells... research further suggests that could be why women can handle more tasks simultaneously than men can... because their right and left lobes have more neural connections... case in point, the wife, in many households, handle the kids' needs from breakfast to going to school amongst other things... but when the husband is supposed to take care of the kids, it is more often than not that he loses control and can not manage all their needs like the wife so naturally does... I am not saying that men can not do it... they can, but it comes naturally to women while men need to train themselves on it...
by the way, a possible explanation of the above was given that this could be due to the evolution of the human race where the man was a hunter and the need to be extremely focused on a single task...
